He signed my Bonnie tank too.
Years ago Triumph had a magazine and on the last page they profiled an employee.
One month they profiled Neil so I got to see what he looked like (35ish) and learned about his past and experiences.
He rotated between between regular painting jobs and tank lining for a few months at a time so he didn't get bored.
The lines on my tank are so even that it's hard to believe it was done by hand.

That's cool, Rocky, didn't see that. I wonder if there's a robot in their Thai factory now named Neil?

Those lines are hand painted ? Such talent out there, beautiful. I love that Triumph, don't regret trading my Bonnie for the CB any day, but this new model looks a dream. The clocks are spot on, looks fab Smile
